16 Hawaii men prepare for ordination to the permanent diaconate this summer
After an eight-year hiatus, the diocese’s diaconate formation program is readying its fourth class of permanent deacons for ordination this summer.
The 16 men, with their wives, have survived a three-year preparation program of theology and scripture classes, once-a-month weekends at St. Stephen Diocesan Center, psychological tests, training in public speaking, and endless hours of pastoral work to prepare for this lifelong commitment.

Catholic Charities settles into new home
Outside it appears as a house of faith, a long, wide “A” frame, accompanied by a slender tower topped with a cross. Inside it’s a house of good works.
The former Protestant church is now the Catholic Charities Hawaii Program Center, the principal structure on the organization’s 2.2-acre campus in Honolulu’s upper Makiki district. It is one of seven buildings to be dedicated on March 31, Wednesday of Holy Week, as the Clarence T.C. Ching Campus.
Since December, Catholic Charities has consolidated the operations of its four Honolulu locations at its new headquarters, about five minutes by car from downtown.
